In the middle of her central Florida tour, she visited California and back after cutting an EP with producer/sound engineer Dan Garcia.

Support For My Argument
Emma Wallace Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm so tired of people nay-saying love,
It makes me wonder,
If a happy ending is so unheard of.

I'm so weary of the comments
Those cynics make,
Say we're brought up on lies
And before we realize it

We've got all whole life to regret our mistakes.

But I believe in Happy Ever After
And romance with an optimistic bent.
But to make sure my words
And my convictions are well spent,
Will someone, please, be the support for my argument?

I'm so tired when people say that love doesn't last,
They say it leaves you up the creek
Without a paddle, then it puts a hole in your mast.

I'm so weary when cynics say I'll never find my right match,
They say you're still alone, you pet your cat, you eat your scone,
How long will it take for reality to hatch?

But I believe in Happy Ever After
And romance with an optimistic bent.
But to make sure my words

And my convictions are well spent,
Will someone, please, be the support for my argument?
